Baoyu Image Gen

Image Generation (AI SDK)

Official API-based image generation. Supports OpenAI, Google, DashScope (阿里通义万象) and Replicate providers.

Script Directory

Agent Execution:

1. SKILL_DIR = this SKILL.md file's directory
2. Script path = ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts
3. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun

Step 0: Load Preferences ⛔ BLOCKING

CRITICAL: This step MUST complete BEFORE any image generation. Do NOT skip or defer.

Check EXTEND.md existence (priority: project → user):

# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md") { "user" }

CRITICAL: If not found, complete the full setup (provider + model + quality + save location) using AskUserQuestion BEFORE generating any images. Generation is BLOCKED until EXTEND.md is created.

EXTEND.md Supports: Default provider | Default quality | Default aspect ratio | Default image size | Default models

Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md

Usage

# Basic
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image cat.png

# With aspect ratio
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A landscape" --image out.png --ar 16:9

# High quality
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --quality 2k

# From prompt files
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --promptfiles system.md content.md --image out.png

# With reference images (Google multimodal or OpenAI edits)
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make blue" --image out.png --ref source.png

# With reference images (explicit provider/model)
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "Make blue" --image out.png --provider google --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview --ref source.png

# Specific provider
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider openai

# DashScope (阿里通义万象)
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "一只可爱的猫" --image out.png --provider dashscope

# Replicate (google/nano-banana-pro)
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate

# Replicate with specific model
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate --model google/nano-banana

Options

Environment Variables

Load Priority: CLI args > EXTEND.md > env vars > <cwd>/.baoyu-skills/.env > ~/.baoyu-skills/.env

Model Resolution

Model priority (highest → lowest), applies to all providers:

1. CLI flag: --model <id>
2. EXTEND.md: default_model.[provider]
3. Env var: <PROVIDER>_IMAGE_MODEL (e.g., GOOGLE_IMAGE_MODEL)
4. Built-in default

EXTEND.md overrides env vars. If both EXTEND.md default_model.google: "gemini-3-pro-image-preview" and env var GOOGLE_IMAGE_MODEL=gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview exist, EXTEND.md wins.

Agent MUST display model info before each generation:

• Show: Using [provider] / [model]
• Show switch hint: Switch model: --model <id> | EXTEND.md default_model.[provider] | env <PROVIDER>_IMAGE_MODEL

Replicate Models

Supported model formats:

• owner/name (recommended for official models), e.g. google/nano-banana-pro
• owner/name:version (community models by version), e.g. stability-ai/sdxl:<version>

Examples:

# Use Replicate default model
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate

# Override model explicitly
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "A cat" --image out.png --provider replicate --model google/nano-banana

Provider Selection

1. --ref provided + no --provider → auto-select Google first, then OpenAI, then Replicate
2. --provider specified → use it (if --ref, must be google, openai, or replicate)
3. Only one API key available → use that provider
4. Multiple available → default to Google

Quality Presets

Google imageSize: Can be overridden with --imageSize 1K|2K|4K

Aspect Ratios

Supported: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2.35:1

• Google multimodal: uses imageConfig.aspectRatio
• Google Imagen: uses aspectRatio parameter
• OpenAI: maps to closest supported size

Generation Mode

Default: Sequential generation (one image at a time). This ensures stable output and easier debugging.

Parallel Generation: Only use when user explicitly requests parallel/concurrent generation.

Parallel Settings (when requested):

Agent Implementation (parallel mode only):

# Launch multiple generations in parallel using Task tool
# Each Task runs as background subagent with run_in_background=true
# Collect results via TaskOutput when all complete

Error Handling

• Missing API key → error with setup instructions
• Generation failure → auto-retry once
• Invalid aspect ratio → warning, proceed with default
• Reference images with unsupported provider/model → error with fix hint (switch to Google multimodal: gemini-3-pro-image-preview, gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview; or OpenAI GPT Image edits)

Extension Support

Custom configurations via EXTEND.md. See Preferences section for paths and supported options.
